What's the deal with captures stealing gold before the player actually dies?

This has happened to me several times, but I just got a game where I had 10M early in the game from 5M starting mode and I annexed a nation seconds into the game. I was jumped and reduced to two small islands, but still had most of my funds. The only "player" pressuring me was a nation so I figured I could just place some warships, cites, and comeback by capturing tribes, but no. The nation took one of my islands and I lost all my gold. Why not just boot me from the entire game at that point? There's no point in trying to play from that point. It feels unfair and it's completely unpredictable when the game will do this aside from just knowing it vaguely happens when most of the territory is lost.

Am I the only one who keeps having my menu buttons freeze up?

This only started happening yesterday, but when I select the button to create a unit the menu opens to show me the name, description, and cost like usual, but the menu doesn't close, and I can't place any units, or even move my camera. This can only seemingly be resolved by reloading the game, but the longer the game's lasted, the longer it takes to rejoin, and I end up coming back with a lot of my land taken or I've already died.
